About our Daycare
Our daycare has been in operation for over 10 years at the College of the Rockies in Cranbrook. Our team of professionals offer children a safe learning environment that is filled with art and learning activities to strengthen those early learning building blocks necessary for future learning. Being in daycare should be a great experience for a child and their family. At the YPEP Daycare we are thrilled to be a part of the early year's field and being given the responsibility to provide this important service. Kids are our future and daycares can enhance children's early learning experiences helping to support healthy beginnings!

What do participants say about YPEP?
"YPEP helped me and my children. This program helped me with confidence again, I honestly didn’t think I could go back to school with all the barriers I had in front of me but with the help and support I did it all. Being a single mom of two from an abusive relationship I lost a lot of myself so being able to go and have the amazing child care and program there as well was amazing and now I am in college and doing what I want in school. Thank you to YPEP for all the support and tips to use in life as well."— YPEP Participant
